# Editing Data Objects in a Wizard Property Grid

## Overview

The **Wizard Property Grid** Form Control allows designers to create a wizard for defining data objects' properties easily. By defining the Form's data input as a data object, the Wizard Property Grid automatically includes all fields, in their proper formats, related to editing the object. For example, if an **Account** object is defined as the input for a Wizard Property Grid, the wizard that displays to the user will contain all of the fields that can be changed on a user account record, including text fields, date pickers, checkboxes, and drop-down lists.

## Example

The example Flow will display a Form that can edit a single **Account** object. This account's properties display in three sections within a wizard property grid. Navigate between these sections using a **Previous** button and a **Next** button. In the first section of the wizard, the **Previous** button will not display. On the final section in the wizard, the **Next** button's label will change to **Done**.

1. Begin in a Designer Folder, and select CREATE FLOW in the Global Action Bar.
2. In the resulting dialog, select Flow, name the Flow, then select CREATE.
3. In the Flow Designer, select the **Start**step. Select **Show Editor** under the **Properties**panel under **FLOW INPUTS > Flow Input Data**.
4. In the Data Definitions dialog, name the data "Account" and select the Type's Account. Select CLOSE.

9. In the Form Designer, navigate to the **Toolbox**, and expand the **DATA > PROPERTY GRID** category. Drag and drop a **Wizard Property Grid** onto the Form.
10. Drag and drop a **Wizard Next Button** and a **Wizard Previous Button**onto the Form from the same DATA > PROPERTY GRID category. The wizard property grid component uses two buttons to navigate between sections. The first button will be the Wizard Next Button when the object described by the wizard property grid has no more sections to display after the current one, its label changes to Done. The Wizard Previous Button will not display on the first section.
11. Select the **Wizard Property Grid** and navigate to the **Properties**panel. Under **INPUT DATA > Next Button**, select **Done**. For **INPUT DATA > Previous Button**, select **Previous**.
12. Under **INPUT DATA > Type**, choose **Account**.
13. Define the **Input Data Name** as "Account" and the **Output Data Name** as "Data".
14. **Save**and Close (**X**) the Form Designer.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/2025-06-17_10h05_57.png)
